Want some cool RSS stats, the ability for people to subscribe via email to your Bryght Basic site on a Bryght VPS or the Bryght Light hosted service and other cool services using FeedBurner? Then check out our latest screencast: Redirect your Drupal Feed to FeedBurner Screencast.

OpenID is an open decentralized identity framework where you can get your own identity and re-use it across the internet. The first application is single sign on which means you can login onto many websites and web applications and services (more being added daily! And all Bryght Basic sites can now support OpenId) using just one id (a URL) and one password rather than multiple passwords and multiple identities which is the case today.

To explain OpenID single sign on, we have two new screencasts for OpenID which has been included in Bryght Basic since July 31, 2007:

• Logging into a Drupal Site and Ma.gnolia using OpenID Screencast
• Associating an OpenID with your Drupal Account

"We envision a world of justice, peace, and freedom". Thus starts the vision for FORpeace. FOR Peace.net is a recent Bryght Light site which is in its early days but already is compelling and moving.

One story that is particularly poignant is Our Way Home Reunion about a recent gathering and reunion of Vietnam resisters and Iraq war veterans in Nelson, British Columbia aka "Resisterville" .

The person behind this site is ForPeace Community Co-coordinator Ruby Sinreich who is bootstrapping ForPeace's online Web 2.0 presence with this Drupal site, as well as a Second Life presence and instant messaging.

She says: "The best thing about our site is that we have opened up a dynamic channel for telling our stories and making connections. A number of my colleagues have already make their first blog entries including our Executive Director"!

Ruby also loves the SimpleMenu module from Drupal community member m3avrck that Bryght has bundled as part of its Bryght Basic Install profile (available to all Drupal users on our public wiki not just Bryght customers) that provides simple, easy to use administrative menus as well as Google Analytics integration and other goodies in Bryght Basic.
